Tenjin-An
A part of Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture. On a scale of 1 to 15,000.
In the year 2002.
The above map shows the place of "Tenjin-An" which is introduced here.
It is about 15 minutes from Kitakogane Station of Joban railway line
which is at the lower right of the map. In the map, we can see
famous Hondo-Ji Temple, so called Ajisai Temple. Ajisai Temple will
be introduced at the later occasion because it is famous.
Tenjin-An, around 2001
The above photo is Tenjin-An. Appearance is not so beautiful.
But inside is large and the atmosphere is good for relaxing.
As it were, it is a private city hall. Here, various entertainments
such as meeting of NGO "Earth Village," semiprofessional movies, etc.
are held. The owner is Mr. Katori, my childhood friend. He
is running a unique vegetable store "Shun" which sells natural
foods and has a corner where vegetables from farmers are directly sold.

sells rice cakes. At that time, we
can enjoy shell top like this.

Setsubun (the spring begins on this day according to calendar) of Ajisai
Dera Temple (Hondo-Ji)
Also the location of Ajisai Dera Temple (Hondo-Ji) is in the above map
where Tenjin-An is shown. Mitsukuni Mito (Mr. Komon Mito in TV) came for
hawking and found a small grave of concubine of Ieyasu Tokugawa.. The concubine
was, at the same time, the mother of uncle of Mitsukuni. He redecorated
it splendidly and the grave still remains as a grave of Mrs. Akiyama. Nobuyoshi,
son of Mrs. Akiyama, was, needless to say, a son of Ieyasu Tokugawa . He
is said to have ruled Kogane district for a while. Beside these thing,
Hondo-Ji is known as a Ajisai Dera Temple with beautiful hydrangea. In
the season of hydrangea, many people visit and sometimes staffs from TV
station come. Two photos below are the event of Setsubun. Setsubun is held
to expel unhappiness and invite happiness.
Around 2 February 2003
Before sprinkling beans on the day of Setsubun, people who act as demons
are showing the fighting as entertainment.
Around 2 February 2003
Like this, beans are sprinkled and visitors pick them up. Needless to say,
also lotteries, caramels, instant noodles, etc. are sprinkled.
